Fountain at the Chevy Chase, MD and Chevy Chase, DC boundary

Francis Newlands, wealthy Senator from Nevada, purchased farmland in the late 19th century and it became the plush neighborhood of Chevy Chase, home to Supreme Court Justices (current and former), lawyers, lobbyist, journalists (e.g., Chris Mathews, David Brinkley), and the less affluent, but their houses are on the less well traveled streets. Three churches (Presbyterian, Episcopal, and Catholic) face the fountain.
